Ohhh, I just saw on your profile that one of your favorite authors is Alan Gratz. I’ve read Prisoner B-#### (sry, I forget the number, lol XD) and I’m in the middle of reading Projekt 1065.
I’ve loved them both!!
Which ones have you read?

Esther posted a new activity comment 2 years, 3 months ago
Hey! So I just read the first two chapters of your book. Love it already!! I have some feedback to give, but I was wondering what kind you want. Like, do you want to know things about the characters, plot, prose, setting, etc.? Are there specific questions you want answered? I don’t want to give you feedback that you aren’t looking for. 😉

It really doesn’t matter, haha! Just your overall thoughts! 🙂

Ok, cool 😉

Hey! Do you wanna RP next for our group?
(I almost forgot about this. XD) But I totally understand if you’re busy. 😊
Here was the last RP:
Adrian
“Germany,” Esther explained. “Although I have lived in America for the past several years…what of both of you?”
“Aletheia,” Ev answered for the both of them.
Adrian wasn’t paying a…

Esther replied to the topic Help with a title? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 3 months ago
Sooo… I don’t have a specific title idea, but just a suggestion.
I don’t know if you’ve figured out what C.H.I.M.E. stands for yet, but the words in the title could each start with the letters from that word. It’d be one of those things where readers eventually notice and freak out. “Like WhAt?!?!?” (At least that’s what I would do…[Read more]

Fynn
Fynn chuckled awkwardly, the warmth on his cheeks feeling out of place. He willed it away and looked up at Liv. “I guess I just don’t understand how Callie’s mind works all the time. How do I know what I say will make her happy or… unhappy?” He caught Callie’s gaze as they passed each other again and she gave him a warm…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ve seen it, but I’ve been busy lately and haven’t gotten to it yet. 😅 I’ll try my best to get the next RP written today. 🙃 (And I still haven’t read your WIP yet. 😭 I’m so sorryyy. I’mma do that today too.)

No one in particular atm, but I think I’m gonna work on Adrian next, and then move onto my other side charries. They need some development… it’s pretty bad. XD

Esther replied to the topic Revolutionary War story idea in the forum Historical 2 years, 3 months ago
Yes! That is basically what I was saying XD
Ok I’m glad I got that right XD
Wow, we’re totally different people…haha! I am always so insecure and scared I’ll hurt someone’s feelings or they’ll take it the wrong way!! And you’re good (:
Hey, that’s not a bad trait to have. 😉
I was reading an interview with a writer, and she…

Esther replied to the topic How many stories/books have you written? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 3 months ago
If we’re counting completed drafts, even if they’re of the same story then I have… four. Including incomplete drafts (and drafts of stories I wrote when I was nine) then that’s… ten? I think? Maybe 12, but I deleted those docs and can’t remember if they were completed or not.
Now, counting completed drafts and short stori…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @whalekeeper @trailblazer
Oh… oops. XD I didn’t know this would start a whole discussion. But that’s okay! It’s really interesting to hear y’all’s opinions.
I wasn’t necessarily trying to say that publishers aren’t looking for a good book. I’m just saying that publishers can be really harsh with what they accept and what t…

Esther posted a new activity comment 2 years, 3 months ago
Oh awesome!! She can have some really helpful stuff, but take it all with a grain of salt, because I feel like not everything she says works for every writer. (Like outlining your entire novel before writing it). But yeah, super helpful stuff. 😊
I’ve been wanting to, but haven’t gotten the chance yet. She has a sequel to that and I believe it’…[Read more] -
Esther replied to the topic Revolutionary War story idea in the forum Historical 2 years, 3 months ago
Yeah, sometimes it helps to have two POVs, and other times it’s not necessary. I’ve become so accustomed to it though, that when I start coming up with a story idea, my mind naturally creates two POV characters. XD
Glad I could help!!

Fynn
“That’s really nice to hear. We know a few people whose experiences are similar to ours, like Callista and her family. Except,” his gaze drifted over to her, “she’s had a much harder time of it than me. In fact,” he tilted his head, “I’m not sure how she does it. She’s been through so much, yet when someone else is in…[Read more]

hey!! (it has felt like forever)
I’ve been good, and writing has been very slow
I’m right now working on my singing and learning guitar
how are you?
Yeah, same here. I mean, it’s slower than I would like, but it’s still pretty good.
Ooh, cool! Sounds fun! How long have you been learning guitar?
I’m doing good, I’ve finally started to workout five days a week. (Never too early to start conditioning for the volleyball season, lol.) Like I said, writing’s been somewhat good too. Slow but stead…[Read more]
I’ve kind of just started XD but so far I’m making progress
That’s great!! I’ve been doing the same (I play softball so I can relate) I’ve been doing Pilates which is a more fun workout also I just recently learned how to fall into a back bend so that was really fun
Yeah that’s nice, I’ve yet to have any ideas for a book that I really love and…[Read more]
Cool! Being able to do a back bend sounds really fun. (I wish I could… XD) Pilates also sounds like fun. 😁 Softball season starts in the late summer/early fall, right?
Yeah, well, writing full-time or even part-time might not be what God has for you. Always listen to what He’s calling you to or away from. But there are also those times where you…[Read more]
Yeah it’s taken a while but now I feel really accomplished
Yeah it depends on the age and league, but my starts around early summer and ends in late July and sometimes August
I’m right now just focusing on the Lord and seeing where he’s guiding me
I’m pretty terrible at writing songs but I hope to improve
Yeah awesome!
Oh cool! My seasons starts officially in mid-/late July. But open gyms typically start in June.
Yep, always the best choice. 😊
Everything takes practice. XD I’m sure you’ll get better the more you work at it. 😉
